Is there any netlink socket example using libuv?

[zhengfish]

Hello,

    I want to program netlink connection with libuv.

    I don't found any example besides there is one line text in documentation here:
./docs/src/udp.rst:129:    In other words, other datagram-type sockets like raw sockets or netlink

    Then I tried to modify this ./test/test-udp-open.c example to support netlink socket, however while it will assert at:
    r = uv_udp_bind ( &client, ( const struct sockaddr* ) &addr, 0 );
    ASSERT ( r == 0 );

    I don't know whether libuv can support netlink programming.

    Do you have any idea or advice?

Thanks in advance.

You can create the netlink socket yourself with socket(AF_NETLINK),
then hand it off to uv_poll_init().
